Roasted cabbage wedges with garam masala

Cabbage is not really the favorite vegetable in the Jois household. It’s not that we do not like it but it is not something we will get excited about. The fact that it has a long shelf life does not help, it sits in the refrigerator for a good week before I make something from it. Maybe I have not utilized the full potential of the cabbage. Teen, almost always has a frown when cabbage is on the menu. I have been seeing a lot of roast cabbage on pinterst, so I did my version of it and am glad teen actually said “ not, bad” (read as it’s good) . That kid is not a picky eater but to persuade her to try something she is not fond of is a mammoth task…And the husband thinks it is the most mundane dish on the menu. Poor cabbage, I hope to have redeemed myself through this post and the cabbage world is ready to embrace me.

I asked my friends to share some of their recipes. I can surely get creative now, there are so many options. Here are some of my favorites, which I am going to try in the near future. I thought I can share it on my blog, so you guys can browse through it too. Thanks everyone for sharing their favorite cabbage delicacy.

Wow Simi. As usual the pictures are fantastic, but more than anything, it's a great roundup of recipes. There are such creative recipes here. I never thought cabbage could be so versatile! Love the initiative. How can I be a part of it?

What an interesting way to cook cabbage -- roasting the wedges sounds absolutely delicious. Bookmarking the post for your recipe and all the other delicious cabbage creations :-) Thank you for including mine too :-) :-)

Hey those wedges by itself looks like a flaky Lachha Paratha and the yogurt dip idea is superb. Thanks for the recipe mentions. Will check them too. And as usual amazing photography. Loved that green tinted glass.

I tried taking a lone moody cabbage shot and was bored with the result, tried to loosen the leaves and bored again. I thought I could slice and get a good closeup of the rings…then as i struck the knife. Found it very dramatic and evocative. that was it. :) thanks !
